Theists claim that a god exists. Atheists simply are unconvinced by theist's arguments.

So, did you ever stop to consider you are arguing against a straw man of your own construction? Nah, you're way too intelligent to do that...

If you construe it as a response, my question is, what justifies the response?

The answer I've gotten so far is: Nothing.

Why do I need to justify a response to your claim?

That's how an exchange works.

You made a claim, I asked for evidence. You're unable provide any. Therefore I must conclude your claim is likely false.

Seems pretty simple to me.
